The Tisbury School recognizes that each student is a unique individual whose development is the responsibility of the staff, the parents, the community as a whole, and the child him/herself. It is our purpose, privilege, and obligation to create an educational environment that maximizes each student's individual talents. We support a school environment that emphasizes respect, tolerance, community service, personal integrity and sensitivity for diversity.

Each year the state requires that the school file a School Improvement Plan with the State Board of Education. This plan is developed through input from the Staff and School Advisory Council. It is approved and signed by both the Council and the School Committee. The plan is available on our website and goals include:

--assessing and improving academic achievement
--continuing improvement of social-emotional climate
--continuing improvement of the facility
